"People who had once seemed very reasonable and questioning and like critical thinkers didn't seem to be thinking as critically anymore," @meghan_daum says. dailysign.al/372jj3w via @KatrinaTrinko @DailySignal
@meghan_daum @KatrinaTrinko @DailySignal Oh, this is the best show in town, I’m telling you. So, Glenn Loury is an economist at Brown University. John McWhorter is a linguist and a cultural critic. They’re both African American. Their show is called “The Black Guys on Bloggingheads.tv.
@meghan_daum @KatrinaTrinko @DailySignal And they would talk about all kinds of things, but especially issues of race in this incredibly nuanced, just really intellectually honest, thorough, thoughtful way that I had never heard anybody talk about race like that before.
@meghan_daum @KatrinaTrinko @DailySignal And I was totally mesmerized. And I think Glenn is a little bit on the right, at least very centrist. John is a liberal, although I think he was affiliated with the Manhattan Institute at one point.
@meghan_daum @KatrinaTrinko @DailySignal Anyway, they’re not hardcore left or right. I would say they’re certainly not Trump supporters. I doubt they vote Republican. I’m sure Glenn did at one point. Anyway, all this is to say it was not a partisan show. That was not the tenor of the conversation.
